When was the last time you sat down for a meal with loved ones and really cherished the food and quality time together? Chances are, it was probably a while ago. Our guest today, Anne Lemons, explains how our fast-paced culture of grab-and-go desk lunches has a huge impact on our gut health, and ultimately, our aging process. In today’s episode, we discuss how better gut health can help us achieve mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual balance. 

We’ve all heard from our doctors that we need to add fibrous foods to stay regular, but Anne Lemons suggests that good gut health goes way beyond beans and broccoli. With 80% of our immune system located in the gut, and 95% of our serotonin production stemming from there as well, the gut microbiome is responsible for so much more than previously thought. Intestinal permeability, commonly known as leaky gut, can appear in the form of fatigue, lack of concentration, and acne, just to name a few symptoms. Luckily, Anne Lemons has some simple lifestyle hacks that can make a tremendous impact on your gut health. Tune in to today’s episode to learn more about how to kickstart your healing journey.
